                        Genuine review Duke 250 after 7 months
                        Duke 250 design is what got me flabbergasted. value for money is great. Good looking bike with mischievous intent if you twist the throttle, manageable maintenance cost, best in class features like ride bidirectional quick shifter, TFT display, phone connectivity, best braking in segment. You can flick the bike with great reflex, you'll get a good average if you keep it between 60-80 at 6k -8k RPM, I'm getting around 35 kmpl and if i rev it upto 10k I'll be getting 24-26 kmpl average. My Only concerns are the headlight projection is not that good but adjustable, and the seat is stiff, not for long travel and comfort but to dominate. If your looking for a bike with stealth and road presence this is the bike, I had shortlisted duke 390 also but at last i got 250 because it's more practical with good power delivery and decent milage and look wise both are around same except for features.

After months of saving, I bought my own. Every ride now feels like a mini mountain adventure, each curve calling for more excitement. Climbing narrow trails last weekend was exhilarating. Brakes respond instantly, engine roars smoothly, corners hug perfectly. Even city traffic feels alive. Each ride blends calm streets with bursts of adrenaline. Handling is sharp, making every ride memorable. Yes, for thrill seekers or weekend explorers. Agile, fast and responsive it hugs corners and accelerates with confidence. Anyone craving adventure on urban or hilly roads will enjoy it. The Duke turns ordinary rides into memorable journeys.

                        A bike which is only judged by its looks and but not by its power the mighty 39T
                        A bike with good looks and with a good power with a semi fairing the initial speed is best in the segment and the leading class bike but lack in proper updates made its sales very slow and it caused the marketing a criteria of this bike section is of the leading one and its competitors like rr310 ninja 300 and many other are less powerful and less confidental infront of this machine

                        Best performance bike in its segment.
                        Im using RC 390 since the past 8 months I got a better experience while riding the vehicle. It gives a better mileage while comparing to its power and performance. I got around 22 to 27 kmpl mileage. But the riding comfort is not good we can't take it to a long ride. Overall it's a beast in its segment.

                        I am very much dreaming to get this bike, very good looking cruiser segment bike with great dynamics. Feels very light and easy to handle, the straight wide rod handle bar and the seating posture is super comfortable. 334 cc oil cooled engine. 22 - 25 mileage and goes upto the top speed of 135 with ease and comfort.

                        Stylish with powerful engine but expensive s parts
                        I wanted a Stylish and powerful motorcycle with liquid cool , six speed gears so Roadster was there, I have ridden this bike almost 9000 km but never felt strain or fatigue. Compare to other bikes with same segment. This bike offers little more features like dual exhaust, slipper clutch, dual channel abs. Roadster is very comfortable for rider and powerful engine with high torque, i have enjoyed the bike so far. Front brake performance is very good compare to rear , only rear brake is not enough to stop at sudden moment , so we have to use both brakes at the same time . Even if you ride this bike in city you will never feel any wrist pain or fatigue. I would recommend this bike for office goers only not for students because high maintenance and low mileage offers as well as spare parts of this bike is so expensive and shortage. Overall the bike is amazing.

                        Classic Power with a Modern Touch
                        I took the Yezdi Roadster because I like bikes with a classic look. I wanted a strong one for long rides and this one looked perfect. I liked its shape and sound. My father had an old Yezdi and I wanted one like that but modern. It felt heavy and powerful which I really liked. My ride has been very good. The bike feels heavy and safe on highway. The engine runs strong and smooth. The seat is wide and soft so long rides are easy. I took it on a trip with friends and it did very well. It gives me the feel of old bikes but runs better. I am happy with it. Yes I tell people who love classic bikes to get this one. It has old style and modern power. It is great for long rides and looks cool. It feels safe and strong. It gives joy on every trip. It is perfect for people who love real riding.
